Ancient Egyptians

Next half term, we will be learning about the amazing Ancient Egyptians.

Ancient Egypt was a fascinating civilization that thrived along the banks of the Nile River thousands of years ago. Known for its majestic pyramids, mysterious hieroglyphics, and powerful pharaohs, ancient Egypt holds a special place in history.

The ancient Egyptians were skilled builders, mathematicians, and astronomers. They believed in an afterlife and carefully preserved their dead through a process called mummification. From the mighty Nile River to the grand temples and tombs, there is so much to learn about this ancient society that left a lasting legacy on the world.

The Romans in Britain

Document 

Everything You Need to Know About The Romans

This half-term we are going to find out about the Romans and what changed when they came to the British Isles. Rome was founded in 753BC by its first king, Romulus. It grew into a rich and powerful city during the next few hundred years. Check these BBC links out for more fun facts. In 54-55BC Julius Caesar tried to invade what is now called the UK but he failed. However, in AD43 a big Roman army landed on the beaches in Kent. Over the next year it battled inland, storming through hillforts and conquering anyone who stood in their way! The Romans changed Britain forever and we can still see what they left behind at places like Wall near Lichfield. Why not go and take a look around one day?

Geography

The UK Autumn 2

This half term we will be learning all about the geography of the UK and zooming in on how Lichfield grew into a city. We will locate the four countries of the UK and add capital cities, mountain ranges and rivers onto maps. Located off the northwest coast of Europe, the United Kingdom includes England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK. It was once a very large active volcano. It last erupted millions of years ago and the eruption was so violent that it caved in on itself. Amazingly, the Severn River is the longest river in the UK, covering a distance of 220 miles!
